Our History

For more than 50 years, Austin City Dental has been one of Austin’s best and most successful dental practices.

The practice was first established at the Capital National Bank by B. Brooks Goldsmith, DDS after his service to our country in the military. A while later, in the early 1970’s, Brooks and some other Austin dentists decided to build and move into a new office building, which became known as the ‘Golden Molar,’ due to its shiny gold-tinted windows and large number of dental practices there. Although the gold-tinted windows have long been replaced, we’re still here and we truly believe – and work every day to prove – that we are the gold standard in dental health.

Dr. Steven Cook joined Dr. Goldsmith in 2006 after relocating from Seattle and took over ownership of the practice shortly thereafter. Dr. Cook is committed to carrying on the legacy of care and professionalism left by Dr. Goldsmith. Austin City Dental has a long history of serving the citizens of Central Texas and we look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come.

Our Mission

At Austin City Dental, we are dedicated to providing the highest levels of health, function, and esthetics. Since we value our patients and appreciate their trust, we are committed to treating them like we would our own families. Our goal is to make each patient interaction a comfortable and positive experience.

In addition to providing exceptional dental care, we are also committed to being a part of and giving back to the Austin Community. Our team members volunteer on a regular basis with both the St. David's Foundation, which provides healthcare services to the underserved and uninsured, and with HAAM, and provide services to the under-served citizens of the Austin area.
